While we do (usually) post a comment when we're banning an account, we don't post such a comment when we're rate limiting an account. The main reason is that we don't have the resources to do everything that way. It's on the list to build an automated feedback system, perhaps with some sort of probation, but that's not done yet. We can argue about whether or not another comment was as bad as what you posted, but I think this misses the important point, which is that you've been breaking the site guidelines repeatedly and we've already asked you many times to stop: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45647808 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45647808 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44141822 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44141822 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43861197 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43861197 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43857426 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43857426 Pointing a finger at someone else isn't a helpful way to respond to this, since we need you (I don't mean you personally, of course, but everyone) to follow the rules regardless of what other people are doing or you feel they are.
